Useful information
Visa
Citizens of Ukraine can fly to the Maldives and spend up to 30 days (after arrival) without the need to arrange a visa in advance. This period can be extended up to 90 days upon appropriate request to the local immigration authorities.
Currency
When traveling to the Maldives, it is important to know the official currency of this amazing country. The currency of the Maldives is the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR for short) and it plays a key role in your experience in this tropical archipelago. Let's take a look at the Maldivian currency and what you need to know about it.
The Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) is the official currency of the Republic of Maldives. It was put into circulation after the Maldives abandoned the use of the Seychelles rupee in 1981.
How to meet your financial needs in the Maldives?
Currency Exchange: Upon arrival in the Maldives, you will be able to exchange your national currency for Maldivian Rufiyaa at the airport or at exchange offices on the islands. Many hotels and resorts also offer currency exchange services.
ATMs: In major tourist areas such as Male (the capital of the Republic of Maldives) and popular resorts, there are ATMs where you can withdraw money in Maldivian Rufiyaa using international bank cards. Banks are open from 8:00 to 13:30 from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday closed.
Credit Cards: Most hotels, restaurants and shops in the Maldives accept credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard. However, credit cards may be restricted on remote islands, so carry cash for places where you may need it.
US dollars and major credit cards are also accepted almost everywhere.
It is important to note that there is no obligation to exchange your currency for rufiyaa. Moreover, most hotels simply do not accept rufiyaa for payment. Here, cash dollars, euros or credit cards are more common and convenient means of payment.
language
In the Maldives, the official language is Dhivehi (or Maldivian), also known as Dhivehi. This language belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family and has similarities with Sinhala and other Sinhalese languages of Sri Lanka.
For tourists visiting the Maldives, the main language of communication is English. Many Maldivians, especially those working in tourism and hospitality, speak English at a high level. So, it is possible to visit the Maldives and communicate in English even if you do not speak Maldivian.
However, learning a few Maldivian phrases such as “Suvaasavee” (hello) or “Shukriya” (thank you) can be helpful and show respect for the local culture.
The season
The Maldives is a popular holiday destination due to its warm and humid climate, which prevails here throughout the year. The average air temperature during the day is around +30 °C, at night it drops to +26 °C, and the water temperature remains around +26 °C. Due to its close location to the equator, the seasonal changes associated with the monsoons are almost imperceptible.
The rainy season in the Maldives falls on the southwest monsoon, which lasts from May to October. At this time, it rains more often and the weather becomes windier. Despite this, the Maldives remains an attractive holiday destination even during this period, and the rains are usually short-lived.
The holiday season in the Maldives comes during the northeast monsoon, which lasts from November to February. At this time, the climate is considered less humid and the chance of rain decreases. This period is considered the most suitable for recreation and water sports.
Cuisine
Maldivian cuisine impresses with its variety and exotic taste. It took many elements from Indian and Sri Lankan gastronomy, which is expressed in the use of spicy curry sauces, a large number of spices and the use of various fruits, while vegetables are used here less often. The staples on the Maldivian table are fish (especially tuna) and rice, served in different variations with a variety of sauces and dressings. Fish is prepared on the grill, in oil or in breading, as well as smoked, dried and boiled. Often, fish is used as a filling for various products, such as pies, balls and kulebyaks, which are often fried until crispy. Unleavened roshi bread and crispy papadu flatbreads are a must-have on the table.
An equally delicious option is rice dishes with the addition of fish curry and coconut milk. You can buy canned fish (especially tuna, which is a favorite among locals and tourists), cured and dried fish at the Malé fish market or in supermarkets. The traditional drink is "raa" - palm milk, and alcohol is almost never consumed here due to religious restrictions.
With the exception of bananas and coconuts, almost all fruits in the Maldives are imported. It is best to taste local gastronomic masterpieces in small budget cafes that are scattered along the streets of the city. Many restaurants are located in Male, the capital, where you can taste a variety of Maldivian, European and international cuisine. Breakfast costs on average from 60 to 95 MVR, lunch - from 105 to 160 MVR, dinner with wine - from 500 to 800 MVR per person (alcohol is not served everywhere), and prices are higher at "resorts". The price includes state tax and service (10%).
